We have followed serverless technologies with great interest since they became available. However, at the moment technical/business limitations imposed by the cloud platforms prevent third party ISVs from offering a serverless service. We will continue to monitor this space in the meantime.

just for the record – I wanted to share an idea here as well as I have done yesterday on Matlab Expo Munich.
I am today able to run compiled Matlab applications within a docker container in typical AWS services. However – even if this approach works, its basically a nightmare 😉
A way out seems to be Matlab Production Server – however in total contrast to payment model of cloud services like AWS Lambda or other serverless services. Also – I believe that the machine will also be in idle state for many times of the day (of course depends on the usage)

So my request would be that Mathworks hosts Matlab Production Servers in their own account and customers like me can send calculation request to YOUR/Mathworks server. Also you can take care of scaling up and down the MPS in case many requests are coming in.

In short: MPSaaS – Matlab Production Server as a Service.

BR Michael

What would it take to bring in a reference architecture based on “containers” and CNAB Bundles for MPS and MDCS.
CNAB = Cloud Native Application Bundle ( a standard way to package multiple containers and cloud native services together for deployment to cloud)

In the following article we can see that it is possible to run ML inside a container.
https://uk.mathworks.com/help/cloudcenter/matlab-deep-learning-container-on-nvidia-gpu-cloud.html
where DL/ML toolbox team is maintaining a container image on the nvidia gpu cloud with MATLAB installed and all the setup ready for DL/ML.

see also the CNAB.io and Duffle.sh

Very nice 🙂 One question – how much effort is it to offer this AMI also in other regions (EU-Frankfurt in my case). Our IT offers an easy EC2 access (also for peopole who have no idea about cloud) with certain tools preinstalled and I would like to have Matlab there as well. But our AWS account is restricted to europe as far as I know.

Thank you, Michael

I have been spending quite some time on this topic and I’m happy to see that prebuildt AMI for Matlab exists. We would also like to build something very similar to the last architecture with the connected cars. Maybe we can get in contact …

One question – do you know if it is possible to use these AMI in combination with serverless products from AWS like Lambda ? I guess not – at least I haven’t found the possibility in Lambda to select an AMI.

I would see a wide ranging possibility of applications for this – e.g. executing tests from a Continuous Integration System. Assuming serverless is not possible – would it be possible to at least create the Matlab18a AMI machines on demand (in such ways that I can start a machine in a Jenkins environment) ?
